22 months.

my sweet girl,

this picture i snapped of you the other day was the first day i put her hair in a pony tail and it just keeps reminding me how big you are getting. you are growing leaps and bounds these days and i just wish it would sloooow down.  you are talking more and more these days and some of your new favorite words include: bus {any big truck you see}, blue house {every time we pull up to our house}, mommo {for elmo}, dada's shoes, and many more. 

you dance every chance you get - constantly pointing to dada's ipod for "more" music.  you are in love with our music class and could care less if i was in there with you.  you are in the center of the room - dancing a jig the ENTIRE class.  you love painting, drawing and playdoh time and ask for it almost everyday.

you are so wonderfully affectionate as well.  big hugs all the time, kisses, constant smiles, snuggles {although you don't want to be touched when you are sick!}.  your first encounter with your boyfriend "luca" happened last weekend when you proceeded to straddle and mount him while giving him lots of hugs and kisses.  keep the love coming sweet girl - we just cannot get enough.

we cannot wait to see you as a big sister in just a few short months.  i know it will be a big adjustment for you, but also believe you will be an amazing big sister to this baby.

we love you beyond belief sweet girl!

love,
mama
